E. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.

Form habit of checking for and removing keys andadjusting wrencheslrem tool before turning it on.

F. To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces(kickback and throwback):

1. USE ONLY "RECOMMENDED ACCESSO-

RIES" (See page 43). Follow the instructionsthat come with the accessories. Using other ac-cessories may be dangerous.

2. Choose the right blade or cutting accessory forthe material and the type of cutting you plan todo.

3. Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cut-offwheels, friction wheels (metal slitting blades)wire wheels orbuffing wheel. They can fly apartexplosively.

4. Choose and inspect your cutting tool carefully.

a. To avoid cuttingtoolfailureand thrownshrap-nel (broken pieces of blade), use only 10" orsmaller blades or other cutting tools markedfor speeds of 3450 rpm or higher.

b. Always use unbroken, balanced bladesdesigned to fit this saw's 5/8 inch arbor.

c. When thru-sawing (making cuts where theblade comes through the workpiece top),always use a 10 inch diameter blade. Thiskeeps the spreader in closest to the blade.

d. Do not overtighten arbor nut. Use arborwrenches to "snug"it securely.

e. Use only sharpbladeswith properly setteeth.Consult a professional blade sharpenerwhenin doubt.

f. Keep blades clean of gum and resin.

5. Adjust table inserts flush with the table top.NEVER use the saw without the proper insert.

6. Make sure all clamps and locksare tight and noparts have any excessive play.

2. Keep work area clean

A. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.Floor must not be slippery from wax or sawdust.

B. To avoid burnsor other fire damage, never use thesaw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.

C. To avoid injury,don't do layout, assembly, or setupwork on the table while the blade is spinning. Itcould cut or throw anything hitting the blade.

Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands,face, ears.

AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING - Make sureswitch is "OFF" before plugging saw in.

3. Plan your work

A. USE THE RIGHT TOOL - Don't force toot orattachmentto do a job it was not designed for.

B. Dress for safety:

1. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties orjewelry (dngs, wristwatches). They can getcaught and draw you into moving parts.

2. Wear nonslip footwear.

3. Tie back long hair.

4. Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

5. Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possiblehearing damage, wear ear plugs or muffs whenusing saw for long periods of time.

6. Any power saw. can throw foreign objects intothe eyes. This can cause permanent eyedamage. Wear safety goggles (not glasses)that comply with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on pack-age). Everyday eyeglasses have only impactresistant lenses. They are not safety glasses.Safety goggles are available at Sears retailcatalog stores. Glasses or goggles not in com-pliance with ANSI Z87.1 could seriously hurtyou when they break.

WEAR YOUR

7. For dusty operations, wear a dust mask alongwith the safety goggles.

C. Inspect your workpiece. Make sure there are nonails or foreign objects in the part of the workpleceto be cut.

D. Plan your cut to avoid KICKBACKS and THROW-BACKS - when a part or all of the workpiece bindson the blade and is thrown violently back towardthe front of the saw.

1. Never cut FREEHAND: Always use either aRip Fence, Miter Gauge or fixture to positionand guide the work, so itwon't twist, bind on theblade and kickback.

2. Make sure there's no debris between 1ne work-piece and its supports.

3. When cutting Irregularly shaped workpieces,plan your work so it will not slip and pinch theblade:

a. A piece of molding, for example, must lie flator be held by a fixture or jig that wiU not let ittwist, rock or slip while being cut. Use jigs orfixtures where needed to prevent workpieceshifting.

b. Use a different, better suited type of toot forwork that can't be made stable.

Page 4: Sears Table Saw

4. Use extra caution with large,, very small orawkwardworkpisces.a. Use extra supports(tables, sawhorses,block,

etc.) for any workpieces large enough to tipwhen not hell down to thetable top. NEVERuSe another person as a substitute for atable extension, or as additional support foraworkpiece that is longer or wider than thebasic saw table, orto help feed, support orpull the workpisce.

b. Never confine the piece being cut off, that is,the piece NOT againstthe fence, mitergaugeor fixture. Never hold it,clamp it, touch it, oruse length stops against it. It must be free tomove. Ifconfined, itcouldgetwedged againstthe blade and cause a kickback or throw-back.

c. Never cut morethan one workpiece at a time.

d. Never turn your table saw"ON" before clear-ing everything except the workpiece andrelated support devices off the table.

4, Planthawayyouwill pushtheworkplecethrough

A. NEVER pull the workpleo_ through. Start andfinish the cut from the front of the table saw.

B. NEVER put your fingers or hands in the path ofthe sawblade or other cutting tool.

C. N EVER reach In back ofthe cuttingtoolwith eitherhand to hold down or support the workpiece,remove wood scraps, or for any other reason.

D. Avoid hand positions where a sudden slip couldcause fingers or hand to move into a sawblade orother cutting tool.

E. DON'T"OVERREACH. Always keep good footingand balance.

F. Push the workpisce against the rotation of theblade. NEVER feed material into the cutting toolfrom the rear of the saw.

G. Always push the workpiece all the way past thesawblade.

H. As much as possible,keep your face and body toone skJeof the sawblade, outof line with apossiblekickback or throwback.

I. NEVERtum the saw =ON" before cieadng the tableof all tools, wood scraps, etc., except the work-piece and related feed or support devices for thecutp nned.

J. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING - Make sureswitch is =OFF" before plugging saw in.

WHENEVER SAW BLADE iS SPINNING

WARNING: Don't let familiarity (gained from fie- I

Jtion of a second Is enough to cause a Severe

Injury.

1. Before actually cuttingwith the saw, watcl_ it while itrunsfor a short while, if it makes an unfamiliar noise

or vibrates a lot, stop immediately. Turn the saw off.Unplugthe saw. Do not restart until finding andfixingthe problem.

2. Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting tool turnstoward the front of the saw.

3. Set the cutting tool as low as possible for the cutyou're planning.

4. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitorsshould be kepta safe distance fromwork. Make sure bystanders areclear of the saw and workplece.

5. Let the blade reach full speed before cutting.

6. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better andsafer at its designed rate. Feed the workpiece intotheblade only fast enough to let it cut without boggingdown or binding.

7. Before treeing any jammed materialA. Turn switch "OFF".

B. Unplug the saw.

C. Wait for all moving pars to stop.

D. Check blade, Spreader and Fence forproper align-ment before starting, again.

8. To avoid throwback of cut off pieces;

A. Use the Guard assembly.

B. To remove loose pieces beneath ortrapped insidethe guard:1. Turn saw "OFF".

2. Remove switch key.

3. Wait for blade to stop before liftingthe Guard.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FORRIPTYPE CUTS1. NEVER use the Miter Gauge when ripping.2. Use a Push Stick whenever the fence is 2 or more

inches from the blade. When thru-sawing, use anAuxiliaryFence and Push Blockwhenever the Fencemustbebetween 1/2 and2 inchesof the blade. Neverthru-saw rip cuts narrower than 1/2 inch. (See =BA-SIC SAW OPERATION - USING THE RIP FENCE"section.)

3. Never rip anything shorter than 10" long.

4. When using a Push Stick or Push Block, the trailingend of the beard must be square. A Push Stick orBlockagainst an uneven end could slip off orpush thework away from the Fence.

5. A FEATHERBOARD can help guide the workpiece.See "BASIC SAW OPERATION - USING THE RIPFENCE." Always use Featherboards for any nonthru rip type cuts.

+++o+,5/16" APART

4-1/2' +- 5"

Page 5: Sears Table Saw

BEFORE STARTING

1. To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, makesure the Rip Fence is parallel to the sawblade.

2. Check the anti-kickback pawls. (See "BASIC SAWOPERATION - USING THE RIP FENCE.") ThePawls must stop a kickback once it has started.Replace orsharpen Anti-Kickback Pawls when pointsbecome dull.

3. Plastic and composition (like hardboard) materialsmay be cut on your saw. However, since these areusually quite hard and slippery, the Anti-KickbackPawls may notstop a kickback. Therefore, be espe-cially careful in your set-up and cutting procedures.

WHILE CUTTING

1. To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, alwayspushforward onthe section of the workpiece betweenthe saw blade and the Rip Fence. Neverpushforwardon the piece being cut off.

ADDITIONAL iNSTRUCTiONS FOR

CROSSCUT TYPE CUTSBEFORE STARTING

1. NEVER use the Rip Fence when crosscutting.

2. An auxiliary wood facing attached to the Miter Gaugecan help prevent workpiece twisting and throwbacks.Attach it to the holes provided. Make the facing longenough and big enough to support your worK. Makesure, however, it will not interfere with the SawbladeGuard. (See page 26)

3. Use jigs or fixtures to help hold any piece too small toextend across the full length of the Miter Gauge faceduring the cut. This lets you properly hold the MiterGauge and workpiece and helps keep your handsaway from the blade.

WHILE CUTTING

1. To avoid blade contact, always hold the Miter Gaugeas shown in the "BASIC SAW OPERATIONS - US-ING THE MITER GAUGE."

BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW

1. Turn the saw off.

.

3.

Wait for blade to stop spinning.

Make workshop child-proof. Lock the shop. Discon-nect master switches. Remove the yellow SwitchKey. Store it away from children and others notqualified to use the tool.

4. Unplug the saw.

safety instructions for basic saw operationsBEFORE EACH USE:

1. inspect your saw

A. To avoid injurytram accidental starting,unplugthesaw, turnthe switchoff andremove the Switch Keybefore raising or removing the Guard, changingthe cutting tool, changing the setup or adjustinganything.

B. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding ofmoving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, andany other conditions that may affect the way itworks, tfany part ismissing, bent, or broken inanyway, or any electrical parts don't work properly,turn the saw off and unplug the saw.

C. Replace damaged, missing, or failed parts beforeusing the saw again.

D. Use the Sawblade Guard, Spreader, and Anti-Kickback Pawls forany thru-sawing (whenevertheblade comes through the top of the workpiece).Makesurethe Pawlsworkpmperly. MakesuretheSpreader is in line with the sawblade.

E. REMOVE ADJ USTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.Form habit of checking forand removing keys andadjusting wrenches from tool before turning it on.

F. To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces(kickback and throwback): 2.

1. USEONLY RECOMMENDEDACCESSORIES 3.(See page 40). Follow the instructions that 4.come with the accessories. Using other acces-sories may be dangerous. 5.

2. Choose the rightblade orcutting accessory forthe material and the type of cutting you plan todo. 6.

3. Never use grinding wheels, abrasive cut-offwheels, friction wheels (metal slitting blades)wire wheels or buflingwheel. They can fly apartexplosively.

4. Choose and inspect your cutting tool carefully.

a. Toavoid cutting tool failure andt hrownshrap-nel (broken pieces of blade), use only 10" orsmaller blades or othercutting tools markedfor speeds of 3450 rpmor higher.

b. Always use unbroken, balanced blades de-signed to fit this saw's 5/8 inch arbor.

c. When thru-sawing (making cuts where theblade comes through the workpiece top),always use a 10 inch diameter blade. Thiskeeps the Spreader inclosest to the blade.

d. Do not overtighten arbor nut. Use arborwrenches to "snug" itsecureiy.

e. Use onlysharp blades withpropedy setteeth ....Consult a professional bladesharpenerwhenin doubt.

f. Keep blades clean of gum and resin.

5. Adjust table inserts flush with the table top.NEVER use the saw without the proper insert.

6. Makesure allclamps and locksare tight and noparts have any excessive play.

2. Keep work area cleanA. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

FlOormust not be slippery from wax or sawdust.

B. To avoid burnsor other fire damage, never use thesaw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.

C. To avoid injury,don't do layout,assembly, or setupwork on the table while the blade is spinning. Itcould cut or throw anything hitting the blade.AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING - Make sure

switch is "OFF" before plugging saw in.

Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face, ears.

3. Plan your workA. USE THE RIGHT TOOL - Don't force tool or

attachment to do a job it was notdesigned for.

B. Dress for safety:1. Do not wearloose clothing, gloves, neckties or

jewelry (rings, wristwatches). They can getcaught and draw you into moving parts.

VVearnonslip footwear.

Tie back long hair.

Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possiblehearing damage, wear ear plugs or muffs whenusing saw for long periods of time.

Any power saw can throw foreign objects intothe eyes. This can cause permanent eye dam-age. Wear safety goggles (not glasses) that

D.PlanyourcuttoavoidKICKBACKSandTHROW-BACKS -when a part or allof the workpiece bindson the blade and is thrown violently back towardthe front of the saw.

1. Never cut FREEHAND: Always use either aRip Fence, Miter Gauge or fixture to positionand guide the work, so it won't twist, bind ontheblade and kickback.

2. Make sure there's no debris between the work-piece and its supports.

3. Whencutting irregularly shaped workpleces,plan your work so it will not slip and pinch theblade:

a. A piece of molding, for example, must fieflator be held by a fixture or jig that will not let ittwist, rock or slipwhile being cut. Use jigs orfixtures where needed to prevent workpieceshifting.

b. Use a different, better suited type of tool forwork that can't be made stable.

4. Use extra caution with large, very small orawkward workpieces:

a. Use extra supports (tables, saw horses,blocks, etc.) foranyworkpieces large enoughto tip when not held down to the table top.NEVER use another person as a substitutefor a Table Extension, or as additional sup-port for a workpiece that is longer or widerthan the basic saw table, or to help feed,support or pull the workpiece.

b. Neverconfinethe piece being cutoff. That is,the pieceNOTagainstthe Fence, Miter Gaugeor fixture. Never hold it, clamp it, touch it, oruse length stops against it. It must be free tomove. Ifconfined, itcouldgetwodgedagainstthe blade and cause a kickback or throw-back.

c. Never cut more than one workpiece at atirne.

d. NEVER turn the saw "ON" before clearingthe table or all tools, wood scraps, etc.,except the workpiece and related feed orsupport devices for the cut planned.

4. Plan the way you will push theworkpiece through

A. NEVER pug the worlkp|ece through. Start andfinish the cut from the front of the table saw.

B. NEVER put your fingers or hands in the path ofthe sawblade or other cutting tool.

C. NEVER reach In back of the cuttingtoolwith eitherhand to hold-down or support the workpiece, re-move wood scraps, or for any other reason.

D. Avoid awkward operations and hand positionswhere a sudden slipcould cause tinge rs orhand tomove into a sawblade or other cutting tool.

E. DONT OVERREACH. Always keep good footingand balance.

F. Push the workpiece against the rotation of theblade. NEVER feed materiat into the cuttingtoolfrom the rear of the saw.

G.Always push the workpiece all the way past thesawblade.

H. As much as possible, keep your face and body toone side of the sawblade, outof linewith apossiblekickback or throwback.

WHENEVER SAW BLADE iS SPiNNiNG

WARNING: Do,'t let familiarity (gained from fre-quent use of your table saw) cause s carelessmistake. AJways remember that • careless frac-tion of a second is enough to cause a severeinjury.

1. Before actuafly cutting with the saw, watch it while itruns for a short while. If it makes an unfamiliar noiseor vibrates a lot, stop immediately. Turn the saw off.Unplug the saw. Do not restart until finding and fixingthe problem.

2. Make sure the top of the arbor or cutting tool turnstoward the front of the saw.

3. Set the cutting tool as low as possible for the cutyou're planning.

4. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kepta safe distance from work. Make sure bystanders areclear of the saw and workpiece.

5. Let the blade reach full speed before cutting.

6. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better andsafer at its designed rate. Feed the workpiece intotheblade only fast enough to let it cut without boggingdown or binding.

7. Before freeing any jammed materiahA. Turn switch '_FF".

B. Unplug the saw.

C. Wail for aft moving parts to stop.

D. Check blade, Spreader and Fence for proper align-ment before starting, again.

8. To avoid throwback of cut off pieces;

A. Use the Guard Assembly.

B. To remove loose pieces beneath or trapped insidethe Guard:

1. Turn saw "OFF".

2. Remove Switch Key.

3. Wait for blade to stop before lifting the Guard.

BEFORE LEAVING THE SAW

1. Turn the saw off.

2. Wait for blade to stop spinning.

basic saw operation - using the miter gaugeWORK FEED DEVICES

Before cutting any wood on your saw, study all of the"Basic Saw Operation."

As you learn new table saw woodworking techniques,you'llsee that many types of cuts need different supportand feedingdevices, known as jigsor fixtures. They canhelp you make cuts more accurately. By helping tosteadythe workpiece andkeep you away fromthe blade,they can help you safely use your saw for certain cuts.

Many people custom build their own jigs and fixtures.Jigsand fixtures areoflen unique,designed fora particu-lar CUt.

You can use yourtable saw to easilymake many jigsandfixtures. To get you started, we've included instructionsfor some simple ones. After you have made a fewpractice cuts, make up these jigs before sta_ling anyprojects. Make the push stick first.

PUSH STICK AND PUSH BLOCK

Make the Push Stick using a piece of I x 2.

Make the Push Block using a piece oi3/8 in. and 3!4 in.plywood.

The small piece of wood 3/8 x 3/8x 1-1/2 inches shouldbe GLUED to the plywood. DO NOT USE NAILS. Thisis to prevent dulling the sawblade in the event youmistakenly cut into the Push Block.

Pos'dion the handle in the center of the plywood andfasten together with glue and woodscrews.

AUXILIARY FENCE/WORKSUPPORT

Make oneusing apiece of 3/8 inchand 3/4 inch plywood.Fasten together with glue and flat head woodscrews.Tighten the screws so the flat head is even with thebottom of the wood.

WARNING: For your own safety, a_ays observe Ithe following safety precautions In addition to the Isafety instructions on pages 2, 3, 4, 5, 29, & 30.

ADDNIONAL SAFETY iNSTRUCTIONS FORCROSS CUT TYPE CUTS

2. An auxiliary wood facing attached to the Miter Gaugecan help prevent workpiece twistingand throwbacks.Attach it to the holes provided. Make the facing longenough and big enough to support your work. Makesure, however, it will not interfere with the sawbladeguard.

3. use jigs or fixtures to help hold any piece too small toextend across the full length of the Miter Gauge faceduring the cut. This lets you properly hold the MiterGauge and workpiece and helps keep your handsaway from the blade.

Before Starting:

1. Never use the Rip Fence when crosscutting.

V_tlle Cutting:

1. To avoid blade contact, always hold the Miter Gaugeas shown in the "BASIC SAW OPERATIONS - US-iNG THE MITER GAUGE."

CROSSCUTTING

Crosscut- A cutting or shaping operation made acrossthe width of the workpiece.

The graduations on the Miter Gauge provide accuracyfor average woodworking. In some cases where ex-treme accuracy is required, when making angle cuts, forexample, make a trial cut and then re-check it with anaccurate square, or protractor.

If necessary, the Miter Gauge head can be swiveledslightlyto compensate for any inaccuracy.

NOTE: The space between the Miter Gauge Bar andthegroove inthe table is held to a minimum during manufac-turing.

For maximum accuracy when using the Miter Gauge,always "favor" one side of the groove in the table. Inother words, don1 move the Miter Gauge from side toside while cutting, but keep one side of the bar ridingagainst one side of the groove.

NOTE: Glue a pieceof sandpaperto the face of the MiterGauge head. This will help prevent the workpiece from"creeping" while it is being cut.

The Hold-Down Clamp (optional accessory) should beused on the Miter Gauge for greater accuracy.

The Miter Gauge maybe used ineither of the grooves inthe table. Make sure it is locked.

\

_DPAPER

WARNING: To avoid blade contact or kickback,hold the Miter Gauge properly.

When using the Miter Gauge in the LEFT hand groove,hold the workpiece firmly against the Miter Gauge headwith your left hand, and gripthe lock handle with yourright.

When usingthe RIGHThandgroove, holdthe workpiecewith your right hand and the Lock Handle with your lefthand.

When cutting long workpieces, invert Auxiliary Panel/Work Support and position it on top of the Guide Bars tosupportthe workplece as near to the end as possible, ffthisdoes notadequately supportthe workplace, youcanmake a simple support by clamping a piece of plywoodto a sawhorse.

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING is the same as crosscuttingexcept that the wood is also cut at an angle, other than900 with the flat side of the wood.

Adjustthe blade to the desired angle.

Use the Miter Gauge in the groove to the RIGHT of theblade. It cannot be used in the groove to the LEFTbecause the Blade Guard will interfere. Hold the work-piecewith your righthand and the LockHandle withyourleft hand.

Use the Auxiliary Fence/Work Support for additionalsupport of the workpiece.

Lay it across the Guide Bars to supportthe workpiece asnear to the end as possible.

Use the Hold-Down Clamp (optional accessory) on theMiter Gauge for greater accuracy.

COMPOUND MITER CUTTING

COMPOUND MITER CUTTING is a combination ofmitercutting and bevel crosscutting. The cut is made atan angle other than 90° to both the edge and the flat sideof the wood.

Adjust the Miter Gauge and the blade to the desiredangle. Make sure Miter Gauge is locked.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR

RiP TYPE CUTS

1. NEVER use the Miter Gauge when ripping.

2. Use a Push Stick whenever the fence is 2 or moreinches from the blade. When thru-sawing, use anAuxiliary Fence and Push Blockwhenever the Fencemust be between 1/2 inch and 2 inches of the blade.Never thru-saw ripcuts lessthan 1/2 inchwide.

3. When using a Push Stick or Push Block, the trailingend of the board must be square. A Push Stick orBlock against an uneven end could slipoffor push thework away from the fence.

4. Never rip anything shorter than 10 inches long.

5. A FEATHERBOARD can help guide the workpiece.

24" _

KERFS ABOUT 11'5/16" APART

Before starting:

1. To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, makesure the Rip Fence is parallel to the sawblade.

2. Check the Anti-Kickback Pawls. The Pawls muststop a kickback once it has started. Replace orsharpen Anti-Kickback Pawls when points becomedull,

3. Plastic and composition (like hardboard) materialsmay be cut on your saw. However, since these areusually quite hard and slippery, the Anti-KickbackPawls may not stop a kickback. Therefore, be espe-cially careful in your set-up and cutting procedures.

While cutting:

1. To avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, alwayspush forward onthe sectionof the workpiece betweenthe sawblade andthe Rip Fence. Never push forwardon the piece being cut off.

RABBETING

RABBETING is known as cutting out a section of thecomer of a piece of material, across an end or along anedge.

To make a RABBET requires cuts which do not go all theway through the material. Therefore, the Blade Guardmust be removed.

1. Remove Blade Guard.

2. For rabbeting along an edge (long way of work-piece) as shown, add facing to Rip Fence approxi-mately as high as the workpiece is wide. Adjust RipFence and blade to required dimensions; then makefirst cut with board flat on table as any rip(type) cut;make second cut with workpiece on edge. Follow allprecautions, safety instructions, and operational in-structions as for ripping, or rip type operations, includ-ing Featherboards and Push Stick, etc.

3. For rabbeting across an end, for workpiece 10-1/2inches and narrower, make the rabbet cut with theboard flat on the table. Using the Miter Gauge fittedwith a Facing, follow the same procedures and in-structions for cross cutting making successwe cutsacross the width o! the workpiece to obtain the de-sired width of cut. DO NOT use the Rip Fence forrabbeting across the end.

HEELING ADJUSTMENT ORPARALLELISM OF SAWB LADE TO MITERGAUGE GROOVE

While cutting, the material must move in a straight linePARALLEL to the SAWBLADE. Therefore, both theMiter Gauge Groove and the Rip Fence must be PAR-ALLEL to the Sawblade.

WARNING: The blade must be parallel to themiter gauge groove. Misallgned blades couldbind on workplace. Workplece could suddenlykickback. You could be cut or hit.

If the sawbiade IS NOT parallel to the Miter GaugeGroove, the blade will bind at one end of the cut. (Thisis known as "HEELING').

To check for parallelism:

I WARNING: To =wold Injury front accidental start,make sure switch is "OFF" and plug is not con-

nected to power source outlet.

1. Raise blade aft the way up, raise Blade Guard.

2. Mark an "X" on one of the teeth which is SET (bent)to the LEFT.
